Down syndrome is a developmental disorder caused by the presence of
an extra copy of chromosome 21. This extra genetic material causes
changes in the production of various proteins, such as enzymes and
cell adhesion molecules, which can disrupt metabolic pathways and
cause defects in organ development. Modern medical advances and the
development of early interventions have reduced the impact of Down
syndrome, and as a result, individuals with Down syndrome can now
live longer and have fewer physical and intellectual difficulties.
"Down Syndrome" explains this genetic disease, its history and
characteristics, and what scientists are doing to study it.
